Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The tool feels solid and well made, perfect for home and hobby use.

Stripping cat5e/6 cable is so easy. It takes a little study to get the connector oriented correctly. Successful termination, gigabit internet is way faster across the house now.

Cons

This means that the cutting feature of the tool is useless as-is. Also dont use rj-45's with a crimper to terminate your cables.

Buy a cheaper no-frills crimper. Compression crimper is the newer and better system that is not only more-idiot proof for a solid connection but also forms a weather-resistant connection which is especially handy if one is making connections in crawls... Read More

If used right, the tool will strip off the right length of insulation and crimp on the connector.

Price

This was a real value for the money and it works great.

This tool is great and sold t a very good price.

Inexpensive but does what it needs to.

Still, for the price, i can forgive all of these shortcomings.

Shipping

Item came more quickly than we thought it would.

Packaging/appearance

If you are not mechanically inclined, this may be a problem- the crappy set i got from the big box store has a wire chart on th... Read More

Competitiveness

I used some pass-through connectors from amazon that consistently failed, but i'm sure i had good crimps, because when i return... Read More
